- Once cooled, mix with chili oil and soy sauce and spread evenly on a baking sheet.

- Air fry/ bake your chicken tenders at this time as well.
- Make the sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients and shaking well.

i always cook my rice with beef broth instead of water to add a smidge more protein, but i used so little rice here that it probably made 0.5g protein difference
